Shad Ricketson letter to Thomas Rotch, New York, 7 Mo 5th 1806

Page 1

B-150-2
No 400, Pearl St., N York, 7 Mo 5th, 1806
Respected Friend,
My Work is in the press,
(of Collins, Gerkins, & Co well known
for its accuracy) & will shortly be
published. It is in 12 Mo full page,
cont.g as much matter as some in 800;
but as it is designed for popular use,
as well as for that of the Faculty,
it was judged best to make it a cheap
Book. The price is not yet fixed: it
will not probably exceed 150 Cents,
if retail, & less by the Quantity, bound.
As I publish it without Subscription,
conceiving it [illegible] for the public; tho'
not subject to indemniify the expense, it
will be necessary to diffuse information
of the Work very generally, & to spread
